Smells Like Cheese Spirit
by Sarah Brown

"I have something that I need to confess. Long ago I gave up all aspirations of being cool and sold my soul to the Backstreet Boys. All day long I listen to Boyzone, Madonna and Britney Spears while dreaming of being on the dancefloor, losing myself in the music, losing myself in a fantasy world where love is forever and emotions are pure. There is no escape for me now. I am addicted to cheese."

"Through school I tried to conform so became caught up in the revolution of Britpop and Indie. I pained my nails purple and went to gigs. I tried to be moody. I even bought Oasis albums."

"I may flirt with other types of music but my heart will always belong to cheese. That is why it is so strong - cheese does not expect monogamy and will continue to welcome me back. It is available to whoever accepts it and it never fails to deliver a good night. There is something special about the way people lay aside their inhibitions and cynicism to crowd onto the dancefloor for 'YMCA'. We may not look trendy but we are allowing ourselves to relax and leave our worries behind. I feel most alive when dancing to cheese: in that moment I am anyone and anything I want to be. It is magic."
